Chapter 11: Blowing the Sand Begins to Reach Gold

"Huh, you said you were selling medicine, right?!"

The middle-aged man was obviously extremely skeptical of Li Hu's answer, and his face was full of disapproval.

"Hahaha...... This kid said that he didn't sell firewood, so what are the few pieces of wood he has in this stall if they are not firewood?!"

"I also think that even if it's not firewood, look at this thing is not black, maybe it's some coal, it's similar to the nature of firewood, hahaha......"

In this deserted place at the end of the street, Li Hu's stall, there were bursts of laughter all of a sudden, and it seemed that even in the air, there could not help but have a more happy atmosphere.

As those people laughed at Li Hu in twos and threes, a slightly weak-hearted voice also came, "Eh, this is not necessarily, you see that he only has three pieces of wood on his entire stall, if he sells firewood, then this little firewood is not enough to cook a meal......

Li Hu took a deep breath, tried not to get angry, and then said angrily: "I'm really not selling firewood, if you want to buy firewood, then please walk out of this street, and then turn directly to the left, you can see the firewood seller, please call me Lei Feng, no thanks!"

Although in this process, Li Zhen has been hinting to Li Hu not to drive away the onlookers like this, but Li Hu gave Li Zhen a reassuring look, and still handled this matter casually and in accordance with his usual way of doing things.

You must know that Li Hu is originally a person who likes freedom, and he doesn't want to be pointed at too much and unreasonably as if he was being pointed at, so he chose to fire the boss directly.

Therefore, in the face of these onlookers, if they watch the play quietly, but they want to find faults, or even want to have fun with themselves, then Li Hu will naturally not agree, let alone give them a good look!

"Yo he, I didn't think you were very old, but your temper is not small, but since you have said so, then I will stand here and not speak, and see how you can sell all these ugly things!"

Those guys seem to be the town's scoundrels, wandering around all day long. But apart from doing some vexatious things, they don't dare to do something more excessive than coaxing.

At this time, they really stood aside very quietly, and stared at Li Hu with interesting faces, as if they were waiting for the show to begin.

Although Li Hu didn't have a bottom in his heart, whether he could sell all these sandalwood incense within today's day, but his competitive heart seemed to be picked up by those scoundrels all of a sudden.

No matter how small the little people are, they may have a little bit of self-esteem in their hearts that are not enough for outsiders. Although Li Hu is still a college graduate, he is still an ant-like little person in the face of such a cruel society.

Only by being fearless can we be able to act easily and deal with the deepest malice from society. Therefore, Li Hu is not only for his own self-esteem, but also to prove his ability, and directly unceremoniously confronts that group of scoundrels!

Li Zhen, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but suddenly become anxious when he saw Li Hu's unobtrusive movements, "Little Fox, is it really okay for you to do this?

Li Hu can fully feel Li Zhen's concern for himself, and it is precisely because of this that Li Hu couldn't help but confess to him directly, "Uncle Li Zhen, I won't tell you, whether these medicinal materials can be sold or not, I don't have any confidence in my heart, but as the sons of the mountains, it is our strength to cross mountains and mountains, and these small hills in front of us are in a predicament, as long as we do our best, the result will not be too bad." ”

After Li Zhen heard this, he could only sigh deeply, and said helplessly: "Now it can only be like this, but looking at you like this, it is estimated that you will not attract guests, right?"

Li Hu couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li Zhen, then I'll thank you here first! ”

Regarding Li Hu's words, Li Zhen didn't seem to take it to heart, and as soon as Li Hu finished speaking, he shouted directly.

"Sell medicinal herbs, fresh wild medicinal herbs! Come and take a look, take a look, and make sure you can't buy it at a loss, and if you buy it, you won't ......lose money."

In fact, in Li Zhen's heart, he still maintained a skeptical attitude about whether Li Hu could sell these medicinal materials, and as for the reward that Li Hu said, he never even thought about it!

According to the rural people, living in a village, and they are all from the same ancestor, Li Hu can call him uncle, then Li Hu is his descendant. Li Zhen, who is an elder, helps the juniors a little, in his opinion, it is extremely natural.

......

As time passed, Li Zhen seemed to be about to burst his throat, but there was still no one who wanted to buy medicine.

Although among them, some people were attracted by Li Zhen's hard shouting, but they didn't want to buy medicine, but regarded Li Hu and them as Jianghu artists who performed on the street and sold their own dog skin plasters by the way.

These people are driven by curiosity, so they can't help but come to join in the fun, after all, for them, it is not too troublesome to watch the excitement, and onlookers are also a fine tradition of the Chinese people.

But after seeing that only Li Zhen was shouting, and the others were standing aside to watch the play, they felt bored, and soon dispersed as birds and beasts.

Seeing those people coming and those people leaving again, Li Hu couldn't help but say to Li Zhen: "Uncle Li Zhen, you have been shouting for so long, your voice has become a little hoarse, anyway, there are no guests now, you can rest first, but don't be tired of yourself!"

Li Zhen looked around, it seemed that there was really no one, sighed and said: "Hey, okay then, I'll rest for a while, but if no one comes to patronize later, then I have to take the first step!"

Li Hu nodded lightly, and said of course: "That's natural, Uncle Li Zhen is willing to help me now, I am already grateful, how can I dare to ask for more?

When the group of scoundrels saw that Li Zhen had been yelling for most of the day, but there were still no people who came to buy Li Hu's medicinal materials, they couldn't help but start to become a little impatient.

Originally, the middle-aged man couldn't help it, and just unceremoniously opened his mouth and said, "Hey, boy, don't you want us to brave the scorching sun and stay next to your stall for a day?"

Li Hu just wanted to have a good reason with this guy, but suddenly a voice broke the conversation between them without warning, so the quarrel between them had to be stopped temporarily.

"Excuse me, do you sell medicinal herbs here?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a more formal suit shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving people a feeling of Sven.

Although Li Hu was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't show it, but said directly to the point: "Hello, that's right, we are selling medicinal herbs here, I don't know if you are interested in taking a look, what about these wild sandalwood of mine?"

After the middle-aged man heard the words "wild sandalwood", his face couldn't help but change suddenly, looking like he was so surprised, and at the same time, he unceremoniously rushed to Li Hu's stall and grabbed one of the sandalwoods.

The middle-aged man carefully observed the piece of sandalwood, only to see that the surface of the sandalwood was gray-brown, the epidermis was smooth and delicate, with some scars and longitudinal fissures, the cross-section was brownish-yellow, and the oil stains were very obvious.

Although the brownish-yellow growth rings are not too obvious, its texture is extremely straight, and the middle-aged man tentatively exerted a little force, and found that the texture of this sandalwood is extremely solid and not easy to break.

You must know that when Li Hu peeled the sandalwood to extract the sandalwood, he wasted all his efforts to be able to strip all the sandalwood. Now the middle-aged man wants to try to break it, but it is just a waste of effort.

But it's rare to have a guy who looks like he knows the goods to patronize, so Li Hu naturally won't mind the middle-aged man's too much tossing, anyway, he is not short of time.

After seeing the sandalwood breaking, the middle-aged man put the sandalwood on the side of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, only to feel that the smell was very fragrant and very strong, which made his whole person can't help but become energetic.

"Yes, yes, it's sandalwood, and the quality is still very good! But according to what you said just now, these are wild sandalwood, so what evidence do you have to prove it? You must know that the price of artificially planted sandalwood and wild sandalwood is very different!"

It can be seen that this middle-aged man is obviously very interested in Li Hu's sandalwood. And looking at his intoxicated face, maybe he is extremely satisfied with the quality of these sandalwoods.

The middle-aged man knew that the quality of these sandalwood was so good that he had never seen it, but in his heart, it seemed that he still had some doubts about Li Hu's wild sandalwood, so he didn't choose to do it directly and buy all of Li Hu's sandalwood.

Li Hu thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said: "It can be seen that you are also an expert in the study of Chinese medicinal materials, so whether my sandalwood is wild or not, don't you know if you try it." ”

Then Li Hu couldn't help but say, and directly unceremoniously took the firewood knife beside him and handed the handle to the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man didn't have any politeness, and after taking the firewood knife, he directly unceremoniously cut the sandalwood in his hand with a hole the size of a fingernail.

As the middle-aged man cut a hole in the sandalwood, he only felt that the aroma of the sandalwood began to become more and more intense. I saw him casually put the piece of sandalwood directly into his mouth.

As soon as he entered the mouth, the middle-aged man only felt that the taste was faint, but as soon as he chewed it slightly, he felt a spicy taste, stimulating his taste buds.

But despite this, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help but reveal a look of great surprise, "Sure enough, these sandalwoods of yours are all wild sandalwood!

Looking at it, several sandalwood sticks on Li Hu's stall are of different lengths, cylindrical, and some are slightly curved and uneven.

"What...... What? 1,000 yuan a kilogram? Could it be that these pieces of black wood from Li Hu are as valuable as those golds?!"

These are the thoughts of Li Zhen on the side, as well as those onlookers. From the middle-aged man who came to the stall to inquire, until now he said the price of 1,000 yuan a kilogram, the shock in their hearts was incomprehensible.

Especially Li Zhen, his heart couldn't help but turn over the monstrous waves, "What...... How can it be so valuable? Xiaohu's few pieces of wood must be at least several kilograms, right? 1,000 yuan, how many fungus do I have to buy in the basket to earn the old one......

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Li Hu said directly without hesitation: "No problem, but I don't have a rod scale here, look at this ......"

"Oh...... I have this! I have this!" Li Zhen heard the word rod scale, and said directly excitedly.

In the end, under Li Zhen's rod scale, the three sandalwood sticks have a total of about 8 kilograms, which means that Li Hu's sandalwood is worth 8,000 yuan!

Without saying a word, the middle-aged man took out a wad of money from his briefcase, all of which were 100 yuan bills, "Young man, I'm really embarrassed, I just paid my salary today, but it's only 5,000 yuan...... You see, I am the vice president of the town's traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and I owe 3,000 yuan now, and the next time you come to the market, you will go to the hospital to ask me for money, what do you think?"

Li Hu didn't even think about it, and said categorically: "I'm really sorry, I have some small businesses here, and I don't owe anything on credit, if you don't have enough money, then I can only give you five kilograms!"

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then you can bring me a five-kilometer sandalwood!" Oh yes, my name is Mo Zhensheng, I hope I can see you next time you catch the market!"

Li Hu just smiled, didn't say any nonsense, and directly unceremoniously pulled out a piece of sandalwood from the pole scale, but it happened to be impartial, just five kilometers of weight left.

Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

After the transaction was completed, the middle-aged man left. Li Hu followed, and directly unceremoniously packed up his things, and pulled Li Zhen, who was in a daze, out of here.

For a while, there were only a few guys left at the end of the street who originally wanted to see Li Hu make a fool of themselves......
